Nameless Cove is a small community just off the main highway between Flower's Cove and Savage Cove. Nameless Cove is situated on a point of land in the Strait of Belle Isle that is close to mainland Labrador (9 miles). The area was mapped by James Cook in 1764. During the early 19th century English fishermen began to settle in the area. By 1857 there were eleven families in Flower's Cove and Nameless Cove while most communities in the Strait of Belle Isle had only one family. Dempster, Walsh and Diamond were the surnames familiar to Nameless Cove in the late 1800's. These families continue to live in Nameless Cove today.
